Hi. I work from home and have finished for the day so taken my first taste of my new Kava. It's lovely...a little bit weird, tingling sensations - took 40grams in 500ml of water. My question if you can answer it is how long should I wait before I eat? I've googled but found nothing. Sorry if it's on here already, I'm not savvy with forums/social media etc and not sure how to search. Feeling a little ill in my tummy, haven't eaten since I got up at 6.30am.
When to eat after kava?

I found it to be important not to eat before consuming kava. But lots of time I eat something almost immediately afterwards. I only eat protein with some fat in it (like hamburger or pork chop) and it seems to actually make the effects of the kava stronger for me. I read that eating too much or other types of food have the opposite effect and ruin the kava effects.
Thanks. I left it a few hours and had a cheese sandwich with crisps. I'm now thinking about having a different strain that I made up this morning in the fridge later this evening but I don't know how long I should wait before taking. My sandwich was probably 2 hours ish ago, I'm not hungry so it's too soon but I don't eat much anyway, little and often for me. So I probably won't actually have a 'dinner' but some sort of fruit/sandwich. I can't really stomach greasy food makes me sick. The batch in the fridge is BOROGU KAVA? The strain I took earlier wasn't very sedative. I was thinking about mixing this evening's drink with a Yogi tea bag? What do you think?

The food doesn't need to be greasy. Your cheese sandwich has lots of fat in it, so that should work just fine. I'm a low carb person, so I would personally eat the cheese directly without the bread. My favorite is to take a deli sliced piece of ham and lay a square of cheese on top it. Then roll it up and eat it like a lettuce wrap without the lettuce.
Sometimes I'll even roll it up with a small pickle in the center. Hmmmmm gooood!!!

fish & chips with crumpets ftw
honestly free range turkey jerky activates kava more than anything else I have tried, I've noticed at around five shells if I continue drinking without eating I don't get much effects..... 4

+ more shells = **protocol not recommended for elevenses**

Sorry I don't even know how to use the smiley. I had posted a reply and now all I have is a confused face. Are you in the US? I don't think we have anything exotice like Turkey Jerky here...I'm not good with spicey food...I'm Irish...meat has to be burned to a cinder before I can eat it. I have very undeveloped tastebuds...Fish and chips we can do so maybe I will ask my hubby to pick some up on the way here. I exercise a lot so don't want to eat fatty food every day though. Thanks for taking the time out to respond, I appreciate it very much - this is where the smiley should be
Do you eat 5 - 10 mins after taking your drink?

Ok. So you would suggest that I eat more in the morning and afternoon? I'm so pleased that you guys are so helpful and non judgemental. I have trawled through lots of information on this forum today and wasn't sure if I was revisiting already covered....been told off on another forum for doing it, so thank you
Oh god not spam! I like this made me laugh, thanks

Maybe make a thread in the New Members forum and tell us a little about yourself, since not too many people are going to see this one (I only did because I posted it and it alerted me).
At this point, I rarely eat anything after 7 or so, I just drink kava. I do eat larger meals earlier in the day to make up for that. This could be termed a form of intermittent fasting. Adjusting to something like this can be unpleasant for a few days but surprisingly is easy after that. But that's just me. Some people drink kava throughout the day, so obviously it wouldn't be acceptable for them.
